PV Data

Arthur K. Barnes – Ph. D. Student

PV data is obtained using an Apogee SP-215 5V amplified pyranometer in conjunction with a National Instruments USB-6259 data acquisition system. A custom LabVIEW program was created to record irradiance data at a frequency of 1 Hz. The pyranometer is installed next to two 225 W PV panels on top of Engineering Hall at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR.
